Unbiased third-party testing data is a key reference for enterprise IT buyers who rely on objective product data to make informed purchasing decisions. Fortunately, CyberRatings, an international third-party security evaluation agency, always adheres to the concept of fair and impartial independent testing, is committed to quantifying cybersecurity risks, and provides impartial ratings, technical reports and industry analysis for various cybersecurity technologies. Independent impartial rating. It is worth mentioning that CyberRatings.org was founded by the former CEO of NSS Labs, and since NSS Labs ceased operations in October 2020, all test results of NSS Labs are currently kept by CyberRatings.org, which shows its authority .
FortiGate Receives Top AAA Rating
Fortinet was honored to participate in CyberRatings.org's recent Enterprise Firewall Review. In this test, Fortinet passed multiple rounds of rigorous testing with excellent performance, standing out among many firewall products. The test results fully validated that FortiGate deserves to be the industry's leading next-generation firewall (NGFW), further highlighting the advantages of efficient artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) and threat intelligence capabilities supported by Fortinet's superior network security threat intelligence and research organization FortiGuard Labs. The test also fully confirmed FortiGate's leading edge in providing users with the industry's highest return on investment (ROI) with its unique ASIC architecture.
In the four test categories of threat defense, SSL/TLS detection performance, stability and reliability, and routing and access control, FortiGate won the grand slam, and all tests were awarded the highest rating of AAA by CyberRatings.org, once again confirming that FortiGate can deliver to meet today's Superior security features required by modern enterprise networks.
FortiGuard Threat Protection Efficiency Up to 99.88%
FortiGuard Labs fully integrates AI-driven security services and threat intelligence sharing services into FortiGate NGFW to comprehensively protect enterprise IT environments from known and unknown threats. In the threat defense test, FortiGate achieved a super high score of 99.88% security effectiveness and won the AAA rating. With fully integrated best-of-breed intrusion prevention technologies and other advantageous features, FortiGate successfully blocks 100% of exploits and evasion attacks initiated by clients and servers.
The FortiGuard Labs team brings together more than 500 threat researchers and analysts all over the world, using more than 10 years of threat big data accumulation, more than 5.6 million sensors (more than 1.57 PB threat samples), and more than 200 threat intelligence partners to jointly Identify, manage and maximize the power and value of over 11,000 threat detection signatures while ensuring low-latency real-time data services. This commitment and innovation has led FortiGuard Labs to lead the industry with 1,000+ zero-day threat findings.
FortiGate's SSL/TLS detection performance has also been awarded AAA rating, which supports accurate identification of all insecure cipher suites such as TLS 1.3 and 1.2, and quickly decrypts and inspects traffic for prohibited content.
CyberRatings.org also notes that FortiGate can quickly decrypt network traffic without compromising performance, a mission-critical protection that is critical for many organizations. In its ongoing Transparency Report, Google states that more than 95% of Internet traffic is encrypted with HTTPS. For enterprises that currently rely heavily on the Internet, deploying FortiGate to obtain efficient decryption performance will greatly protect business security.
Users deploying FortiGate NGFW can enjoy the most effective security in the industry, as well as unmatched wire-speed decryption and traffic inspection performance, empowering IT and security teams to provide stakeholders with a more secure and superior user experience.
ASIC self-developed chips endow 36 times the computing performance and the highest return on investment
Another key differentiator that sets Fortinet apart in the enterprise firewall space is its unique ASIC architecture. Other firewall providers often rely on general-purpose CPU and FPGA technologies that are relatively easy to purchase and implement to build firewall security and networking functions. The ASIC accelerator chip relies on senior programming technology and supply chain expertise, as well as years of persistent investment and innovation. Fortinet has led the industry in ASIC technology research and development for more than 20 years.
Fortinet's patented ASIC technology can accelerate network and security functions such as IPSec VPN, stateful firewall, and IPS, greatly improving security networking performance. The computing performance is 36 times higher than that of competing products, achieving a higher return on investment. With this superior performance advantage, Fortinet firewall can fully integrate SD-WAN, 5G network, ZTNA, SASE, DPI and other native applications in a single platform, supporting enterprises to accelerate digital transformation and integration. An overview of the CyberRatings.org 2023 Enterprise Firewall Report fully validates the industry's uniqueness and industry innovation of Fortinet solutions.
FortiGate has also received AAA ratings in stability and reliability assessments. FortiGate threat protection throughput exceeds 10 Gbps, ensuring excellent user experience while efficiently blocking exploits. This advantage is demonstrated through stability and stress testing of various loads, traffic types and protocol parameters.
Highest ROI in the industry, Fortinet delivers the best price/performance per protected Mbps
CyberRatings.org calculates the "Price per Protected Mbps" by dividing the firewall provider's product MSRP plus 24x7 support and maintenance service fees by the product of the vendor's security performance score and rated throughput (as defined in the formula below Show). Based on the calculation results, the unit price of protected Mbps for each product is accurately and fairly evaluated. Fortinet was extremely competitive in this evaluation, with the highest ROI in the industry of all the major firewalls evaluated.
Fortinet is pleased that CyberRatings.org is actively implementing cybersecurity industry principles and establishing itself as the new benchmark for trusted product testing.
If you are impressed by the evaluation results of FortiGate, we sincerely invite you to conduct an actual test of FortiGate in your own network environment, enjoy an excellent security networking experience, and fully meet your various security needs.
